Li Fang is a traditional rural woman who has been diligent and hardworking all her life. She has a son and a daughter, son Li Qiang and daughter Li Hong. Li Qiang has been cowardly since he was a child, and he always relies on his mother to do things; And her daughter Li Hong is completely different, she has an independent personality, smart and capable, and is the pride of the family.
Li Fang's family lives in a small remote village, and their lives are hard but stable. Li Hong has been smart and clever since she was a child, and her reading grades are excellent, but in order to reduce the burden on her family, she went out to work after graduating from high school. After a few years, she established herself in the city, met a nice young man, and was ready to get married. Li Hong's boyfriend's name is Zhang Wei, she met in the factory, and the two worked together to save 300,000 bride money, ready to go back to their hometown for a decent wedding.
However, Li Fang had other worries in her heart. Li Qiang has reached marriageable age, but he has not been able to find a suitable partner for a long time. Li Fang knew that the girls in the village valued the house, but the conditions of the family could not afford to buy a decent wedding house. She pondered it repeatedly, was in a dilemma, and the balance in her heart swayed between her son and daughter.
One night, Li Fang and Li Qiang were chilling in the courtyard. Li Qiang lowered his head and looked sullen. Li Fang couldn't help but ask, "Qiangzi, why have you always been sullen lately?" I have something on my mind to tell my mother. ”
Li Qiang sighed and said, "Mom, I really don't know what to do. That Xiaofang in the village had a good chat with me a few days ago, but now when she heard that our family didn't have a house, she ignored me. ”
When Li Fang heard this, her heart became even more anxious. She gently patted Li Qiang's shoulder and asked tentatively, "Qiangzi, why don't we scrape together some money and buy a small house first?" Doesn't your sister Li Hong have some savings? ”
Li Qiang raised his head and looked at his mother in surprise: "Mom, you mean...... With Li Hong's bride price money? ”
Li Fang hesitated, but nodded: "Your sister's side, Mom will tell me, she will understand." You also know how important it is to buy a house now, otherwise you won't even be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. ”
A few days later, Li Hong returned home. After dinner, Li Fang called Li Hong to the room and said that she had something to say to her. Li Hong sat on the edge of the bed and asked with a smile, "Mom, what's the matter?" You look a little serious. ”
Li Fang sighed and said, "Honghong, Mom knows that you and Zhang Wei are going to get married, and Mom is happy for you." But you also know your brother's current situation, our family really can't afford to buy a house for him now. Mom thought, can I borrow your bride price money first, and then pay it back to you later? ”
Li Hong was stunned, and only spoke after a while: "Mom, that's the money that Zhang Wei and I have worked hard to save, are you like this...... How can I explain to Zhang Wei? ”
Li Fang lowered her head, not daring to look directly into her daughter's eyes: "Honghong, my mother knows that I'm sorry for you, but it's not easy for your brother." Mom, please, help your brother. ”
Li Hong was silent for a long time, her eyes flashed with tears, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, I understand." I'll make it clear to Zhang Wei. ”
However, when Li Hong told Zhang Wei about this, Zhang Wei appeared disappointed. He said in a deep voice: "Honghong, I know you want to help the family, but we need to think about this matter. If you want, we'll talk to your mother. ”
In the end, Li Hong and Zhang Wei decided to cancel the wedding temporarily. Li Hong was disheartened and left his hometown, full of grievances and unwillingness, and disappeared from then on.
Seven years have passed, and Li Fang's life has not changed for the better because of buying a house for her son. On the contrary, her heart is tormented by guilt and longing every day. Whenever she sees the house she bought for Li Qiang, she thinks of her heartbroken daughter Li Hong. Li Qiang got married, but his life after marriage was not satisfactory, his wife Xiaofang always complained that life was difficult, and the two often quarreled.
On this day, Li Fang sat alone in the courtyard, holding a piece of Li Hong's childhood clothes in her hand, looking gloomy. Aunt Wang, a neighbor, came over and asked with concern, "Li Fang, why are you always sullen these days?" ”
Li Fang barely squeezed out a smile: "It's okay, I just remembered Honghong." She hadn't been back for seven years, and I don't know how she's doing now. ”
Aunt Wang sighed and said, "Don't be too sad, the children have their own lives." A few days ago, I heard that I seemed to see Honghong working in the city. ”
Li Fang raised his head suddenly, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Really? Who do you listen to? ”
Aunt Wang nodded: "It's the grandson of Uncle Zhang in the village, he does business in the city, and he said that he saw a girl named Li Hong in a company, which is quite similar to your family Honghong." ”
Li Fang's mood is extremely complicated, with both hope and anxiety. She knows that her decision seven years ago broke her daughter's heart, and she doesn't know if her daughter wants to see her now. However, the strong longing and remorse in her heart prompted her to decide to find her daughter.
Early the next morning, Li Fang packed a few simple bags and boarded a long-distance bus to the city. Along the way, her mood couldn't be calm for a long time, and her mind kept recalling what her daughter looked like when she was a child. The scenery outside the car window flew by, but Li Fang's heart became heavier and heavier.
After arriving in the city, Li Fang found the company based on the information provided by Aunt Wang. She stood in front of the office, her heart beating so hard that she didn't know how to speak. Just as she was hesitating, a young female employee walked out, and Li Fang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Hello, do you have an employee named Li Hong here?" ”
The female employee looked at Li Fang, smiled and said, "Oh, are you Li Hong's relative?" She does work here, but she took a leave of absence today. ”
Li Fang's heart sank suddenly, but she still forced a smile: "Yes, I am her mother." Do you know where she lives? ”
The female employee was a little hesitant, but seeing that Li Fang didn't look like a bad person, she replied: "Li Hong lives in a small apartment in the east of the city, I can take you there." ”
Li Fang nodded gratefully: "Thank you, thank you so much." ”
Under the leadership of the female employee, Li Fang finally came to Li Hong's residence. It was a small, modest apartment with a few laundry hanging outside the door. Li Fang stood at the door, uneasy in her heart, and reached out and knocked on the door.
The door opened, Li Hong stood at the door, and when she saw that it was her mother, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Li Fang was also stunned, Li Hong in front of her was much haggard than seven years ago, but she still had that strength in her eyes.
Li Fang choked up and said, "Honghong, it's Mom, Mom has come to see you." ”
Li Hong took a deep breath, tried to control her emotions, and said, "Mom, why are you here?" ”
Li Fang held Li Hong's hand and burst into tears: "Honghong, mom is sorry for you, mom has always regretted what happened seven years ago." Over the years, my mother has been thinking about you, and I feel so bitter. ”
Li Hong's eyes were also red, she sighed, and invited her mother into the house. The two sat on the sofa in the small apartment, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a while.
Li Hong finally spoke: "Mom, I know that you are also for the good of this family, but I was really sad at that time. I'm living here okay, you don't have to worry too much. ”
Li Fang held her daughter's hand, and tears kept falling: "Honghong, Mom knows I'm sorry for you, but Mom really misses you and wants you to come back." We still have to be together as a family, no matter what happens, Mom will support you. ”
Li Hong looked at her mother, and the strength in her eyes was gradually replaced by tenderness: "Mom, I know." ”
Li Fang sat in Li Hong's small apartment, looking around at this simple but warm little home. There are a few photos of Li Hong and her friends on the wall, and a few books that have been turned over are on the table. Li Fang's heart is full of complex emotions, including remorse, gratification, and hope to find her daughter again.
Li Hong poured a glass of water for her mother and said softly: "Mom, I've lived quite well here over the years, although I'm not rich, but I'm also calm. ”
Li Fang took the water cup with tears in her eyes: "Honghong, Mom knows that you have suffered a lot over the years." Mom really regrets that she shouldn't have wronged you for your brother's house. ”
Li Hong sighed and sat next to her mother: "Mom, I know that you are also for the good of the family." Let the past pass, and now let's start anew. ”
Li Fang held her daughter's hand tightly, and tears couldn't stop flowing: "Honghong, mom promises you that she won't let you be wronged again in the future." Mom will do her best to compensate you and make you live a good life. ”
Li Hong nodded, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "Mom, I don't need any compensation, as long as our family can be together, it is more important than anything else." ”
The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, and seven years of grievances and longing were released at this moment. Li Fang wiped her tears and looked at her daughter gently: "Honghong, go home with your mother." We will reunite as a family, and no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we will face them together. ”
Li Hong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, Mom, I'll go home with you." ”
On the day they returned to their hometown, Li Fang and Li Hong set foot on familiar land. Li Fang took her daughter's hand and felt a long-lost peace of mind. When the neighbors in the village saw Li Hong coming back, they all stepped forward to greet her and warmly welcome her.
Li Hong stood in the courtyard, looking at the familiar scenery, with mixed feelings in her heart. Li Fang patted her on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Honghong, Mom will take good care of you." Let's rebuild this home together. ”
Li Hong nodded, with a determined glint in her eyes: "Mom, let's work together to leave all the past hurts behind and live a new life." ”
From that day on, Li Fang and Li Hong started a new life. Li Hong found a job in the village, and although the income was not high, it was enough to make ends meet. Li Fang took care of the family's affairs while helping her daughter adapt to life back in her hometown.
One evening, Li Hong and her mother were chilling out in the yard. Li Qiang also returned, and he was very happy to see his sister come home. The brother and sister chatted about the past in the courtyard, and Li Qiang apologized to his sister: "Sister, I was not sensible back then, and I caused you to suffer so many grievances. Now that I'm seeing you back, I'm so relieved. ”
Li Hong smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, let the past pass." We need to live well now and face the challenges of the future together. ”
Li Fang looked at her children beside her, feeling extremely satisfied. She knows that although the mistakes of the past cannot be erased, now that they are reunited as a family, this is the greatest happiness.
Over time, Li Fang and Li Hong gradually settled down in the village. Life in the village is simple, but it is full of warmth and hope. With the joint efforts of the mother and daughter, the life of the family is kept in order, and the neighborhood relationship is becoming more and more harmonious.
On a sunny morning, Li Fang and Li Hong stood in the yard, feeling the warmth of the sun. Li Fang smiled and said to her daughter: "Honghong, our life will get better and better." As long as the family is together, any difficulty can be overcome. ”
Li Hong nodded, her eyes full of hope for the future: "Mom, we will work together to live a better and better life." ”
